Ex-Real Madrid and Barcelona star Luis Milla believes Gareth Bale joining Tottenham is a win-win situation for all parties involved.
Real Madrid hero Luis Milla believes the Gareth Bale transfer to Tottenham is best for both clubs.
The Welshman was the subject of transfer speculations in the past few seasons. His relationship with Zinedine Zidane was down to a bare minimum and it was only a matter of time before he left the club.
He got his wish this summer. Bale re-joined Tottenham last months, seven years after leaving the club. He left Real Madrid on a season-long loan without a permanent option.
Bale is already off the mark for Spurs, scoring in the victory over Brighton.
Despite helping Real to two La Liga and four UEFA Champions League triumphs, the pacey Welshman was never loved by the fans at the Santiago Bernabeu.
His injury history and declining form meant he was rarely in the team.
It is why Milla, who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid during his playing days in the 1980s and 1990s, believes the loan move to Spurs near the transfer deadline was the right decision for all parties.
“Well, Bale was really effective in very important matches in his first few years at Real Madrid,” Milla told TribalFootball.
“However, in the last couple of years he has not been 100% with the team and has lacked professionalism, in my opinion.
“He has his interests outside of football…and he has been lacking hunger for some time now regarding playing for Real Madrid.
“It’s good for himself and for the club (Real Madrid) that Bale has gone to Tottenham.”
